歌词

...
Outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window
and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full,
full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand
and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever
capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one
you chose to be your only one
Oh baby, can't you hear me now,
can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
Every night, every night
it's just the same
On a downtown train
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four ways
and watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
but they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
Every night, every night
it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams
fall like rain
On a downtown train
...
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
Every night, every night
it's just the same
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams
fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
...
